FREE FLY TIPPED NEST BOXES
« on: March 03, 2010, 05:11:48 pm »
I found 2 of these fly tipped on waste ground, thought maybe good geese laying boxes or anything that will use them, saw another one today will try to get that one later.. dam heavy and solid will last for years, easy to move as well just tip them and roll them.... you could cut smaller pop hole and fit a perch. price is good as well, FREE.

How do you clean them out?
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

same way as any other wooden shed or nest box, bit easier as well no nasty tight corners.

I'm still puzzled - I can go in an stand upright in my chicken shed.  Easy to clean that, but I can't see how you'd get into these - how big are they?

OK a dummies guide to cleaning a nest box out, with these heavy built reels i lift the nesting material a bit, chuck in a match, burn all the nasties inside (first make sure theres no goose inside), while its burning roll it a bit to toast everything, stand it upright again watch for the survivers to stagger out blinded and coughing and stamp on them. Then pump in some mite dust etc new nesting material, JOB DONE. I use fire on my other hen houses etc but they are thinner and catch fire a bit so i have a running hose on standby. I LIKE SETTING FIRE TO THINGS >:( One day i nearly got overcome with smoke i couldnt see for a minute and the shed had flames. I said this was a dummies guide.
